From the initial phase of an enterprise, when the future partners intend to start a certain investment, it is the role of the business lawyer to understand the planned business. He will have to listen, understand the strategy envisaged the branch in which the company will act, only after analyzing all the information brought to him, to propose the most appropriate legal model.

In California, the most common model is the еstablishment of a limited liability company (LTDA.), which reprеsents more than 90% of Californian companies. However, there are several other structures that, depending on the case, may be more advantageous, such as entering into a business partnership (joint venture), setting up a limited company (SA) or even setting up a company abroad.

Contracts
Once the best legal structure for the enterprise has been drawn up, it will be necessary to enter into several deals. The corporate lawyer should warn about the risks that may exist in each business, suggesting the safest legal paths. In the end, the deal will be formalized by a contract, which is nothing more than giving written form to the parties' business arrangements, together with the strategies of the Business Lawyer Nakase Wade accepted by the clients. Therefore, except in contracts with consumers in general, each business must generate a different contractual structure.

Company financing
In expanding their activities, it is common for healthy companies to seek new financial contributions. This may be due to new investments by the partners or, which is quite common, the injection of capital by third parties. In this last alternative, some options are the taking of loans in financial institutions (in California or abroad in international financing), the entry of new partners in the company (who will not necessarily be managers), the issue of certain advantages to third investors, such as debentures, and, in larger enterprises, the IPO on the stock exchange. In assessing the best path, among other elements, it is necessary for the entrepreneur to be aware of the legal repercussions of each one of them. The Corporate Lawyer Nakase Wade helps there as well.

Corporate operations
It is quite common for companies to establish alliances with each other in order to take a prominent position in their respective markets. Many of these alliances end up generating corporate reorganization operations, such as the constitution of new companies, mergers between them, the acquisition of other companies and the opening of capital. Long known in the United States as M&A (Mergers &Acquisitions ) and IPO (Initial Public Offer), these operations have found fertile ground in the Californian economic scenario since the opening of the market and the privatization of infrastructure companies in the 1990s, having grown exponentially in the last 5 years. In each case, it will be the role of the corporate lawyer to learn all the financial and strategy data of the company in order to, together with the entrepreneur, outline the most appropriate strategies.

International Business
When a Californian company intends to invest abroad, a foreign company intends to invest in California or there is even a business between companies from different countries, we are talking about international business. In this area, there must be greater caution, as inevitably one side will be negotiating based on the laws of another country, which has repercussions on legal liability, taxation and even effectiveness of compliance with contractual stipulations (enforcement), which must be taken into account by the entrepreneur.

In these deals, the lawyer will negotiate and draw up contracts in legal English, which is why it is important to have good knowledge of common law (law adopted in countries such as the United Kingdom, United States and India), in addition to knowledge of culture and institutions from different countries. This last detail can make all the difference in an international negotiation, in which, more than business, it deals with people.
